Summary
The video is a practical guide to finding second-hand e-bikes and EMTBs on classifieds apps such as Wallapop and Milanuncios. The host demonstrates how targeted searches can uncover better deals than simply searching for “electric bike.”
Search tips
- Search for specific motor or battery terms—such as Bosch, Fazua, Shimano EP8, or 750 Wh—instead of only searching for “e-bike.” Sellers may include these details in a listing title or description.
- Filter by distance, bicycle category, and price. The host recommends setting the maximum price slightly above your budget because sellers may be willing to negotiate.
- Try several variations of a search term, including possible misspellings, since listings may describe components inconsistently.
- On the app shown, changing the search wording resets the filters, so check and reapply them each time.
- Save searches as favorites. The app can notify you when a new listing matches, which may help you respond quickly to attractive deals.
Motor and bike considerations
- The host recommends searching for bikes with Bosch Smart System motors, noting that the app can show information such as mileage and motor use. He also discusses searching by motor generation.
- He says many motor issues had been addressed in models from around 2020 onward. In his view, older Bosch Gen 3 motors can have more resistance when pedalling with the motor off than later generations.
- Check the exact motor model, battery capacity, and frame size rather than relying on a brand name alone. Shimano model names can be confusing, so verify which motor is actually fitted.
- The host advises against replacing a reasonably modern, functioning e-bike solely to get the newest motor. Newer systems may offer extra power or features, but those differences may not justify the cost for every rider. Battery age and condition may be more important reasons to consider changing an older bike.
